The thought of running into him terrified me. Jump ahead a few years and when I first heard the phrase: “Great and Abominable Church” I had visions of something terrifying. Something that would prevent me from getting back to my Heavenly Father. 1 Nephi 13: 1-4,6 Nephi saw a group…

Last year, some of them walked** and some used public transportation. This year, no one is walking and public transportation has only been utilized a few times.In spite…
